CECAM Flagship Workshop on Machine Learning Potentials: From Interfaces to Solution

Who we are and what we do

We investigate link between structure, dynamics, and function of biomolecules. To that end, we develop and apply computational methods to study biomolecular systems at the atomic level, mostly using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.

We are located at the Center for Theoretical Chemistry at Ruhr University Bochum. Our group actively contributes to the cluster of excellence RESOLV.
